Has anyone seen or have a link to a pic of 1970s Magnum rims for veedubs?
Im not sure wether the Ferarri stud pattern is the same as VW?
Gee not much in that pic has dated....old skool!!

I am "sure" these old wheels i had were Magnum
Is this the model you were thinking of??
the ones on the ferrari, here are called Bathurst.
I had them on a type 3.
these are magnums on my old bay panel
I guess I'll see at the end of the week if Bizzare or vwtyp2 are right.
Damo, forget the rims, it's the white pants and beige slip ons int hat pic! Hahaha
I thought the ones on the ferrari were called globes and the one on the panel were called slots. Anyone seen any peeknuckles (could be incorrect spelling) lately. I last saw a set about 5 years ago and almost bought them.
Magnum was the brand that manufacture the wheels in my post - not the style
bizarre, those ones you posted are hurricanes, my bro had a set on his bay.
The kidney slot wheels on the bay are a copy of some American racing wheels made during the 70. You are able to buy them for just about any stud
pattern ever, including wide 5. Flat four make them.
HRM, have you seen Rod Hadfield's Hadibrand wheels? They are a copy of a halibrand from the 70s and look awesome, even if they are a little
pricey.

Can't find em on the website, but I know he makes them in 15x4 through to about 15x10. He can drill them to any stud pattern you like.

Magnum PI
ive seen those ones of barrys around but hurricanes had more spokes than those and where usually 7" and seen on carrera bugs
i've always known the 5 slot ones as jelly bean or kidney mags
nearly all those 4 stud 70s mags were made by ROH just with different brand names cheviot, aunger, performance etc

My 6 slot kidneys went to bugbrained. 14x7 differnet offsets custom made in South Australia.
